When I was lad at school I was dragged off to these so called field trips to learn a bit about history. You must have had the same teacher and OMG did they go on reading from a book zzzzzzzz. About time that the schools issued them a metal detector and tell them to go out and find history for themselves. Make it fun and give them the resources us metal detectorists have to research the finds.....

I for one have learnt a lot more about history metal detecting in the last couple of years than I did in my whole life at school listening and NOT DOING ....
